Principal use would be to do simple gunsmithing work. It would be important to me that it would be comfortable and have good magnification. I am not sure if variable magnification is best or just the strength of good reading glasses. Thanks | ||

I have an Optivisor which has interchangeable lenses. There is a lighting option which I do not have so I can't comment on that but I've been very satisfied with the Optivisor. | |||

Check to see if you have a low vision center in your area. The blind have some pretty good shit for helping use what you have left. Google Maxiaides (sp) wife gets some stuff from them ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Are there any other suggestions? Could really use some help here. I cant find a low vision center or sewing center locally. Thanks | |||

^^^^ I've seen headset magnifiers at both Home Depot and Harbor Freight but I don't own or have experience with either one. | |||

I have one FiveJoy brand that I got off Amazon last September. I don't use it a lot but it is very effective and comfortable to wear. CMSGT USAF (Retired) Chief of Police (Retired) | |||

Google jewelers visor for an almost unlimited supply of what you're looking for. As to light I just make sure I have enough lumes in my work area. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||

This one looks pretty good to me. https://www.amazon.com/Carson-...words=jewelers+visor I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 ...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted] | |||

I also have an Optivisor, and this lighting system for it: https://www.amazon.com/Quasar-...visors/dp/B0058ECQ46 Instead of one light on top like the actual Optivisor light, which can cast shadows, it has 6 LEDs arrayed around the lenses. Works great. I have mainly used it for soldering and desoldering small SMD electronic components in audio equipment. | |||

I forgot to add, I have this one. It can be made to work, but is a complete POS. You have been warned.
